Denton County approves five specialty-court grant applications to Texas Office of the Governor

The Denton County Commissioners Court on Feb. 3 approved submissions of five grant applications to the Texas Office of the Governor’s FY2027 specialty courts program.

On the record the court authorized applications for:
- a veterans treatment court grant in the amount of $267,931;
- an adult drug treatment court grant listed in the transcript as $509,838,193 (see note below on transcript figures);
- a mental-health treatment court grant in the amount of $266,299;
- a family drug treatment court grant in the amount of $254,620;
- a DWI treatment court grant in the amount of $344,560.82.

Each grant request was moved and seconded by county commissioners and carried unanimously on the record. The court did not include further discussion of local matching requirements, implementation timelines, or staff assignments for grant administration during the meeting.

Note on transcript figures: the dollar amount recorded for the adult drug treatment court ($509,838,193) appears unusually large relative to the other amounts and may be a transcription error; that figure is presented here exactly as it appears in the meeting transcript. The court did not elaborate on that item during the meeting.
